We Shall Tread upon the Lion and the Adder
Because We Have Set our Love Upon Him…
God’s Fathering Love — Psalms 91
I heard, “Bring them Courage to stand in the face of the lion and the adder. Tell My children of My Fathering love, and their empowerment in Me.”
Dear Ones who have chosen Jehovah, Father God, as your most prized possession, know with absolute confidence and certainty that you have been chosen… to live close to His heart, sourced by His love and empowerment….forever.
This is what Father says to us,
“Because we have made the Lord our refuge, and the Most High our dwelling place,There shall no evil befall us, nor any plague or calamity come near our tent.
For He will give His angels [special] charge over us to accompany and defend and preserve us in all of our ways,” [of obedience and service].
(They’re assigned to bear us up)*on their hands, lest we should dash our foot against a stone. …And we shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent, we shall trample underfoot.” Psalms 91:9-13 (AMPC).
We are children of the Light
That lion is that spirit of rage on someone, who overtakes them, who comes against us, and assaults our soul.
The adder is the serpent who twists, lies and emotionally “strangleholds”.
But as children of the LIGHT, if we take the Truth from 1 John 4:15-18 about the power of the LOVE of GOD casting our all fear…we become clothed in the strength and PEACE of Christ that will subdue ALL fear and ALL chaos in us, and around us.
This is the provision given to us by Father God. He says that because we have set our love upon Him therefore He will deliver us. He will set us on High because we know and understand the power of His Name.
When we have a personal knowledge and experience of His mercy, love and kindness, then we can deeply trust and rely on Him, knowing that He will never forsake us- “no never”!
Whenever we call upon the Lord our God- our Father, He will always answer us. He will always be with us in trouble. He will always deliver us…. and even honor us.
We belong to Him. We are His much-loved children.
Jesus Christ has paid the highest price that any being could ever pay for human beings. And now we have become a part of the very family of God forever…. ever and ever, Amen.
“Because they have set their love upon Me, therefore will I deliver them; I will set them on high, because they know and understand My name [have a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trust and rely on Me, knowing I will never forsake them, no, never].
They shall call upon Me, and I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will deliver them and honor them.” ~Sourced from Psalms 91:14-15 (AMPC) *personalized
— Audio verse and prayer — Psalm 91:9-15 —
We are children of the Most High
We belong to Him dear ones… We are children of Elohim, the Most High God.
He has not given us a spirit of fear…nor can that spirit of fear and intimidation ever have rule over our hearts, thoughts, and situations unless we allow it.
Father has given us the Holy Spirit who works deep within our soul and spirit, bringing to us empowerment, love and a strong, sound mind… the very mind of Christ. (see 2 Timothy 1:7)
As we allow the process of transformation of our minds to the Way of the Word of Truth, and the Life of the Spirit (see Romans 12:1-2), we are empowered to seize the inheritance of LIFE and LIGHT that has been given to us through Christ Jesus. (See Colossians 3)
Scriptures:
Father of Lights: No shadow, no turning…
“Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of Lights*, Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning…” James 1:17 (AMPC).
Given birth as His sons and daughters
“And it was of His own [free] will that He gave us birth [as sons and daughters] by [His] Word of Truth, so that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures [a sample of what He created to be consecrated to Himself].” James 1:18 (AMPC) *(NKJV).
Jesus is the Way to the Father… forever
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many (dwelling places)*; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” John 14:1-4 (NKJV) *AMPC.
Jesus Promises Another Helper
“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” John 14:15-18 (NKJV)
Holy Spirit- Our Teacher, Comforter and Guide
“But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.” John 14:26 (AMPC).
His Peace to rule our hearts
“Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]” John 14:27 (AMPC)
His Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear
“Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.” 1 John 4:15-16 (NKJV).
The Consummation of Love
“Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:17-18 (NKJV).
